The second-year Kenyatta University medical students were attending their 1st Anatomy Class. They all gathered around the table. There was a real dead body on the table. The lecturer, Prof. G.G started the class by telling them two important qualities of a doctor.
He said, “The 1st is that never be DISGUSTED about anything in the body.” For example, he inserted his FINGER in the dead body's NOSE and then put the finger in his mouth and TASTED it. Then he told the students to do what he did.
The students hesitated for several minutes, but eventually, everyone inserted their fingers in the body's NOSE & tasted it. When everyone finished tasting their fingers, they were all frowning and looking at the professor with angry faces.
Then the professor looked at them and said: “The most important 2nd Quality is Observation. I inserted my MIDDLE finger but tasted the 2nd finger. Now, learn to pay attention!”
